The presentation, which will be held at my alma mater UNT, is a professional lecture and demonstration for other mental health professionals so they can learn about the practical applications of improv in therapy sessions. Stephanie is a tremendous clinician with a thriving practice in Lewisville, and I am thrilled to be a part of this fun and informative CEU.

I can speak from personal experience on just how impactful improv can be. I believe improv can be beneficial for clients, but I also believe it is extremely beneficial for us therapists too. I know I became a much better therapist the moment I started allowing my improv brain to follow me into my sessions.

Improv helped me discover parts of my mind I didn’t even know existed. It helped me be more collaborative, more open-minded, more playful, and more engaging. Improv helped me become a better listener, a better facilitator, a better communicator. It made me a better therapist.

I hope with this CEU other therapists might learn some fun, new techniques that will help them facilitate better, more impactful therapy sessions. One of my favorite compliments I ever got from a former patient came from a teenager who told me, “You make sessions fun. I used to hate coming to these things, but with you it’s actually fun.” Improv!
